Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 104444 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable 3'-5'-DNA exonuclease activity; 3'-5'-RNA exonuclease activity; and magnesium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; gut; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human REXO2 (RNA exonuclease 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele are embryonic lethal before E8.5. Embryos at E8.5 are small and lack a heart structure. [provided by MGI curators] |
